1 | Can I remarry and be forgiven by god | Luke 7:47 | tonysanchez | 72513 | ||
I have a question, in reference to divorce and remarry. Question: I am a mother of 3 young children. I am going through a divorce. I was involved in a sexual relatioship with another man due to the fact that my husband ignored me and sometimes got into heated violence towards me. My husband found out that I was in a relationship with another man. We have filed for divorced. I have been trying to work our relationship back to normal. Plus I still love my husband. But my husband will not accept me back. My husband is a strong christian and goes to church and even quotes me scriptures. But at the same time my husband calls me real nasty names, in front of my children. My husband keeps telling me that I must confess my sins to him, I asked him if I confess my sins to you, will you take me back. He states that he will not. I guess my question is once my divorce is final, could I ever remarry and be happy. Or am I condemed for life due to the fact of commiting adultry. Plus will God ever forgive me. I have since commited myself and my children to the baptish church. Please help me in this matter, I am afraid that I will never get to go to heaven and be with my children. |

2 | Can I remarry and be forgiven by god | Luke 7:47 | Hank | 72661 | ||
Dear Tonysanchez: It is with the greatest reluctance possible that I address your question once again. Post #72645 entered by user name Martha is a garish example of the very kind of thing that in a former post I warned you against. The author of that post has suggested, "I wouldn't forgive my husband if he was to have an affair on me, but then again, I might...(etc.)" Please compare this bit of advice with what the Lord Jesus said, "But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." [Matt.6:15]. This author has told you that "God might be wanting you to go your own way and is calling you elsewhere." The Bible says, "What God has joined together, let not man separate." [Matt.19:6]. The author further advises, "He (God) is the only one that matters in this case." But you have the clear responsibility of nurturing your three small children, and of being a loving wife to your husband. Surely they matter too -- and not to you only but to God. In speaking of the God-ordained marital relationship, the Bible says, "the two shall become one flesh." [Gen.2:24; Matt.19:5]. And further: "If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." [1 Tim.5:8] And Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." [Matt.19:14]....... Another piece of advice that this author gave you, i.e., to "justify yourself in front of God," is something that neither you nor any other human being can possibly do. Justification is of God, made possible solely by the atoning work that Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross..... So again, dear correspondent, I urge you to rely heavily on God through fervent prayer and seek the counsel of His servants, the qualified Christian counselors in your local church and home community to lead and direct you; and that you cease your quest for answers to your intimate personal problems on this or any other web site. It's simply not the wisest of choices available to you. --Hank | ||||||
